Fresh 92.7 celebrates 10 incredible years on air
Special commemorative broadcast to air Monday 17 March
Adelaide’s leading youth broadcaster, Fresh 92.7, is celebrating 10 years on air in 2008.
Fresh 92.7 co-founder Chris Velliaris, aka DJ Chris V, will host a retrospective special between 12 noon and 4pm this Monday 17 March, ten years to the day after the station launched on a part-time licence.
The four-hour program will draw on playlists from Fresh 92.7’s annual Top 92 countdown to feature the station’s most popular tracks of the last decade.
Chris V will interview Fresh 92.7 DJs, announcers and performers past and present. Personalities including co-founder Geoff Wintle, Zac Z and Adrian Zac will take a look back at the station’s humble beginnings, its ascendance to cult hit on a part-time licence, and securing its position in the Adelaide radio landscape with a full-time licence in October 2002.
Also appearing on the show will be Adelaide ex-pat DJ Groove Terminator (whose track ‘Brand New Day’ was the first played on Fresh 92.7’s full-time licence), Rogue Traders’ James Ash (who was involved with the station in its formative months), and more Australian and local acts supported by Fresh over the last ten years.
Program Director Aaron Coward said the commemorative program would be a great opportunity to not only look at Fresh 92.7’s history, but also its exciting future. “I can’t wait to see what’s next for us,” he said.
The annual Fresh 92.7 birthday party last year attracted over 3000 listeners to HQ Complex. An announcement will be made about the upcoming 10th birthday party on Monday’s program.
Currently attracting 206,000 listeners per week aged 15 years or over, according to the latest McNair Survey results, Fresh is among the premier community stations in Australia.
